Venice & the Phoenicians

Question

Back in the ARG, there was a key plot involving the Council of Venice and the Phoenicians. It heavily explored that they were not at all what they seem and it wasn't so black and white was Venice would have us believe, especially with regards to the history of their relationship and roles in the secret war. In the game however, we have not yet really explored any of those ideas, and it has largely painted Venice as good, although incompetent, and the Phoenicians as almost comically evil, even more than the Orochi in some cases.

Now that the focus has slightly shifted away from the Orochi, will we be exploring any of these ideas and concepts in future issues?

Those initial impressions are correct to how a lot of the characters populating the world see it. But those impressions are...incomplete.

Venice is not completely incompetent, but they are compromised now. The Phoenicians are completely mustache-twirling evil...but it pays for everyone to think so for some of their business. If you play to the end of The Seven Silences this Halloween season, you will get a new look at the Council of Venice and what they are capable of.
